The issue is drafting a guy in the 2nd round who clear as day was a 6th or 7th rounder in hackemburg

And drafting a guy in the 4th round that was an UDFA quality.

The object of the game is to make good picks not bad.

I get it. Only draft good QBs.  Even in the later rounds.  There was nothing wrong with taking a shot on Morgan. There are 10-15 QBs drafted every year in the later rounds and they almost always amount to nothing.  By the way, Hackenberg is not relevant to this discussion, but continue the SOJ self-flagellation.

He was connected to several teams before the 2020 draft and projected to go in the fourth, fifth, or sixth round. He was a reach in the fourth for sure but he most likely would not have gone undrafted even if Douglas had no interest.

I mean you could justify taking the 3rd string QB for William & Mary in the 4th round with this mentality.  

Just taking ANY old QB in the midrounds simply because it’s an QB isn’t what we should be shooting for or be ok with.

Your choice as NYJ starting Qb, if Rodgers falls through.

Looking a lot like Hackenberg's infamous AAF performance:

After profanity-laced AAF washout, Christian Hackenberg may be out of options

 

But Hackenberg, who was traded to the Raiders last May and released by Oakland less than a month later, did nothing to prove that he was ready for the NFL when he was actually in it, which made the Alliance of American Football a marginally interesting option. Perhaps Hackenberg could turn things around in a league with less imposing defensive competition and at least start to show a workable NFL skill set.

That was the hope, anyway. But based on his AAF debut, Hackenberg may be at the end of the road. In the Memphis Express’ 26-0 loss at the hands of the Birmingham Iron (love these World Football League-style names), he completed just 10 of 23 passes for 87 yards and an interception.

Moreover, he kept throwing profanity during his less-than-incendiary performance (warning: NSFW language abounds):

 

It’s nobody else’s fault but Hackenberg’s if he can’t complete a simple RPO, or if he throws late into a cabal of defenders, or his dropback makes him look like your Uncle Frank after too many brews at the July 4 barbecue. This is, quite simply, a quarterback who does not appear to be ready for anything approaching professional football, and while that’s unfortunate, it’s also the reality of things. Perhaps the worst second-round pick in NFL history has nowhere to go from here if he can’t do something to improve his performance.
